Arsenal could be contemplating a January loan exit for a fringe player in Mikel Arteta's squad.

Fabrizio Romano has outlined the club's stance on outcast midfielder Fabio Vieira.

Since his £34 million move from Porto in the summer of 2022, Vieira has been a peripheral figure for Arteta.

Marseille's new sporting director, Mehdi Benatia, could be interested in signing Vieira.

Arsenal are still deciding on the players they will try to sell or loan out in the winter.

Vieira is behind Martin Odegaard and Kai Harvetz in the pecking order, but may be seen as a good rotation option.
